We were impressed by Smith’s ability to get paint touches. The quick and shifty 6-foot-1 point guard used his combination of burst, downhill speed and body control to get into the lane where he made smart decisions on when to score and when to distribute. Smith is really effective when setting up his defender with a strong left-hand attack only to spin back to his right hand to score at the rim.

The 6-foot-1 combo guard has the moves to create his own shots, the vision and awareness to get others involved, and the ability to score from 3-levels to keep the defense guessing. Smith has assumed the mantle of running the offense, as transfer RJ Shehee is currently lighting up the football field, and he showed that he has the skill set to play on or off the ball, with games of 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, followed by 8 points 8 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in his respective two games on Day 1 of the Shootout, displaying his ability to run the point and get others involved. Smith has dynamic handles, keeps the ball on a string to survey the floor with his head on a swivel at all times, has various moves to get his defender off balance, using the crossover combos, hesitation, step-back, fadeaway, and spin-move to get open looks off the bounce, has a smooth jumper with efficiency from then mid-range to the 3-point line with great body control while in the air, and a crafty scorer among height to evade shot blockers, using the up-and-under, floater, euro-step, and reverse lay-ups to score in tight windows. Smith is also an elite perimeter defender with active hands, great lateral footspeed, and timing to deflect passes, jump passing lanes, or poke the ball out, as well as the bounce and timing to block and alter shots on the wing, as well as from the weak-side around the basket. Smith looked very poised and controlled running the point. 

Smith is a speedy open court and half-court slasher who uses his burst, shiftiness and strength get into the lane and make plays for himself and teammates. The 6-foot-1 combo guard is an aggressive downhill attacker in transition who can also break down defenders in isolation with his quickness, shiftiness and creativity with the ball in his hands. Smith is at his best when putting pressure on the rim but is equally effective with his quick stop-and-pop pull-up jumper.
